I was wandering around the mall the other day, and noticed all of the stores have taken their winter shoes off the shelves (even though it is still FREEZING outside) and replaced them with their spring and summer collections. The bright colors and decorative features caught my eye immediately.
Here are some common trends I noticed throughout all of the stores:
1. Bright Colors-- Oranges, pinks, purples and white all stood out among the normal grey and black that are found year round.
2. Flowers used as details-- Flats and heels alike had flower embellishments to add a decorative flavor. This type of shoe will act as an accessory to any outfit. They would pair perfect with a simple outfit, that way the attention is directed toward the shoe.
3. Skins used as materials-- I always have considered snake skin and alligator skin a winter shoe material. The skin has been dyed for color enhancement, making them appropriate for the upcoming seasons.
4. Sandals-- As always, sandals will be a must have for spring. This season's replicate a more Greek-like style. They are all flat bottomed and most wrap up around the ankle area.
When I researched this topic, I found a Web site that talks about the trends I noticed. Check it out: http://www.jurgita.com/articles-id2973.html
